Trident 4609

Just a bit of a light hearted topic :)

Just post here any buses you see in the background of television programmes (I believe there is a site dedicated to this sort of thing!)

I will start off :)

Last nightvi watched a drama on C4 last night called Raised By Wolves set and filmed in Wolverhampton and one of the shots was of a 1 branded B5LH

I've also seen Optare Solo's and B7RLE's on Emmerdale!

I watched a Keeping Up Appearances Episode a while back and 2465 appeared in the background :)

Also when Hustle filmed their last 3 series in Birmingham several Buses were in the background including Presidents and Enviros

72/72A Solihull Station - Chelmsley Wood
73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

I've been watching Keeping Up Appearances lately (quality), filmed in and around Coventry and Leamington/Kenilworth areas, but I have not seen a bus in the background yet.

An episode of Doctors a few years back (not that I watch it!) featured a scene inside a Green Bus single decker, could have been one of the Plaxton Verdes

Also remember watching 'Brum' when younger, there was an episode heavily featuring a WMT Metrobus. Also lots of buses going past in the background on all of the old episodes

Its a Series One Episode where 2465 is featured I think its the 3rd episode but I'm not 100% sure on that :)

Thanks Rob, will have to watch that again.

Also, don't forget that Aston Manor's RM506 will soon be on 'The Game' next year that BBC were filming in Birmingham a few months ago

1668 appeared on Sky News today.

They had a reporter at the QE for a news story. 1668 went past on the 48 in the background.

Also has anyone noticed that Channel 4 ident in Blackpool in which two blackpool transport buses (A Trident and Solo) go past?

The Trident was in Line 14 Livery and the solo was in Line 5 Livery but these route liveries are now disappearing and most of Blackpool Transports Buses are now in Black and Yellow Livery with a Silver and Red/Pink Stripe only a small number of the buses still remain in their route liveries :)
